Application filed March 6, 1688. Serial No. 266,382. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, JOHN E. (Jones, a citizen of the UnitedStates,residing at Oanarsie, Long Island, Kings county, State of New York, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Twine-Holders, of whichthe following is a full,clear, and exact specification, reference beinghad to the accompanying drawings, forming a part thereof.

My invention relates to certain improvements in devices for holdingtwine, and particularly designed for use in stores; and the'obatwine-holder adapted for attachment beneath the desk or counter entirelyout of the way, and having means whereby the twine is brought into anexposed position for convenient hand ling when required. This objectIaccomplish by the construction and arrangement shown in the accompanyingdrawings, in which Figure 1 is a side elevation of my improvedtwine-holder,shown attached to the under side ofa counter; and Fig, 2 isan end view of the same, taken from the front.

Let a represent an open cup shaped receptacle adapted to hold a ball oftwine, 1). Extending from the upper part of this receptacle is alongarm, (2, which is provided with a V- shaped opening, d, leading into thereceptacle, through which the twineisled out to the front of thecounter, where it is convenient for use whenever required. On each sideof the arm cis provided an ontwardly-proiecting tlange,c.

fis a hanger adapted to hold the arm 0 and permitof its sliding therein,being formed with a recess to correspond tothe under part of the arm,and having offsets h h to serve as bearings for the flanges ee,so thatthe twine-holder may slide to and fro therein. The hangerpiece f issecured to the under side of the counter ]t' by means of screws i t,passing through the flangcsjj. As shown in Fig. 1, the top of thereceptacle,after the ball oftwine is placed therein, is set up close tothe under side of the counter, with the end of its arm coming flush withthe front of the same, so that it is entirely out of the way,while theend of the twine is in a position to be readily taken in the hand. \Vbenit becomes necessary to replenish the twine, it is only required toslide the holder out from its hanger, when access may be readily had toits interior.

Having described my invention,what I claim as new, and desire to secureby Letters Patent, 1s-

The receptacle a, liavi ng grooved arm 0, provided with flanges ee,eombined with the hanger f, provided with the offsets h h, as shown and OWENMoMAHoN, S. J. Jones.
